Lottery


Big Lottery Fund – Further Response to Recession
The Big Lottery Fund (BIG) in Wales has allocated additional funds to assist communities during the recession as part of the package of measures announced during 2009. An additional £2 million is being made available to provide further support to communities across Wales affected by the recession.

New Awards. A second ‘fast track’ stream of BIG’s People & Places programme specifically dedicated to the recession will be launched, offering grants of up to £50,000 over two years to organisations currently providing services that are supporting vulnerable families and children living in poverty, including (but not limited to) the following:

  • Support to vulnerable families including those at risk of breakdown, and in crisis
  • Support to vulnerable children, including those at risk of offending or already engaged with the criminal justice system
  • Support to families and children living in poverty, including food co-operatives, clothes recycling schemes, nutrition and dietary advice
  • Support to victims of domestic violence
  • Support to young carers
  • Support to those affected by substance misuse
  • Support to children where a parent is in custody

Flexible Grant Management. BIG is also continuing to monitor existing grant holders for any sign that the outcomes of their projects may be at risk because of the impact of the recession. Although BIG’s grant management processes are already very flexible, BIG is extending the opportunity for top-up awards to be provided to existing grant-holders where projects are demonstrably at risk as a direct result of the recession. We will shortly be writing again to grant holders with more detailed information about how this works.

Priority for Projects Mitigating the Impact of the Recession
The final element of BIG’s recession package was to make use of the flexibility of BIG’s existing People & Places demand-led programme. The award-making Committee has agreed to prioritise applications for projects which are likely to support communities withstand the impact of the recession. This was implemented from the Committee’s September 2009 meeting and has resulted in 5 awards to date totalling £1.13 million to projects which will provide direct support to communities most affected by the recession.

For further information about BIG’s recession package please visit www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/wales or contact our information line on 01686 611 700. Information will be available on online from Monday 15 February.

Round 2 - Community Asset Transfer Programme
The CAT programme is an exciting first, involving a partnership between the Welsh Assembly Government and the Big Lottery Fund (BIG). The partnership, administered by BIG, is investing up to £13 million in the transfer of assets from public sector organisations to communities across Wales.

The programme supports communities to become stronger and more sustainable by helping them to obtain and develop assets such as land and buildings. Capital, revenue and development funding is available under Round 2 to support enterprising communities to use assets to generate income streams and provide quality services and amenities.

Round 2 of the programme opens on the 30 of March 2010. This funding round will be delivered via a two stage process.
Organisations will need to complete a stage one application but will only be required to develop and submit their stage two application if successful at stage one.

Guidance notes, frequently asked questions and further information on the programme are available on our website.

Once you have read the guidance notes, if you think your project is suitable for the CAT programme then register your details with us for an application form. Please send your name and organisation by e-mail to cat@biglotteryfund.org.uk

Briefing events on the programme are planned in mid-May and further details will be circulated shortly.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us on 029 2067 8200 or cat@biglotteryfund.org.uk

Government

MV (Millennium Volunteers) grant programme to relaunch in March
The current round of the Millennium Volunteers (MV) grant programme has come to an end and no more applications are being accepted. It will re-open on March 11th, when a new application form will be launched on both the WCVA website and the GwirVol youth volunteering site. There will be new questions asking organisations more about how they meet the MV aims, their track record running volunteering projects and other grants that they may be receiving. Applications will have to be returned to the WCVA by post using the new application form by Midday on 2nd June 2010 to be eligible for the next round of funding. The relaunch is part of the celebrations planned for the tenth anniversary of the Millennium Volunteers programme during 2010.

Organisations will also be able to use the same application form to apply to use the MV Awards and Certificates without having to go through the same process as applying for a grant. There are many advantages to being able to offer MV recognition for young volunteers and it is being increasingly recognised as beneficial for CVs, UCAS applications and job interviews. Many organisations that have funding from other sources or who already have established volunteering programmes are developing the use of MV recognition without becoming grant-holders.

Applications will be invited from all groups (including statutory authorities) who involve young volunteers and can offer 200 hours of experience for them. For more details, watch the WCVA website and download the documents after March 11th. For more information about the MV programme or to discuss a potential application, please contact David Heald, Millennium Volunteers Co-ordinator on 029 2043 1728 or at dheald@wcva.org.uk.

WCVA gives evidence on EU programme implementation to National Assembly for Wales
Earlier this month, WCVA made representations to the National Assembly on the third sector’s involvement with European Structural Funds. WCVA staff submitted written and verbal evidence to the Assembly’s Enterprise and Learning Committee inquiry on the implementation of the Structural Funds programmes in Wales 2007-2013, focussing on the level of engagement of the third sector in EU programmes, as well as the use of procurement in project delivery.

Post-2013 EU funding
Eurostat recently published its gross domestic product (GDP) figures for 2007, which will be used as the first of the three reference years to determine eligibility for Structural Funds post-2013. West Wales and the Valleys had an average GDP of 73.4% of the EU average GDP for 2007, which is beneath the 75% average GDP rate that is currently used to determine whether EU regions qualify for the highest level of aid. Over the next 12 months negotiations between the European Commission and EU Member States will get underway, to determine the criteria for the future shape of Structural Funds programmes.

The Beacon Prize 2010
We all know people who do ­more than their fair share for charity, but who do you think does so much that they could be called National Charity Champion? If you know a charity hero, they and their chosen charity could be in line to win £30,000. The Awards are organised by The Beacon Fellowship Charitable Trust – a body that encourages people to give time, money or skills to charitable causes. The influential charity is urging people to nominate individuals who are real charitable superstars. With awards in seven categories and an additional overall prize, the winners will be invited to attend a gala event in London where they will receive the recognition they deserve for the good work they do.

Last year we received countless stories of extraordinary individuals from the UK area who have worked to make a difference both locally and on a global scale. We hope that once again this year’s nominations will highlight the work of many more unnamed heroes who have given so much in the name of charity.

So can someone you know be the UK Charity champion? Only if you tell us about them! Nominations close on 16 April 2010, and the forms can be found on the website. For more information, please visit: www.beaconfellowship.org.uk.

‘Structuring & Writing Competitive Tenders’ will explore tools and techniques to maximise your success in tendering.

‘Competitive Tender Presentations’ will explore how to present an effective bid and give an insider view into really ‘selling’ your tender by bringing it to life.

Planning

Analysis leads to more thoughtful funding decisions
New Philanthropy Capital has published a guide to evaluation, giving examples of how charities and funders benefit from analysis - it helps charities understand how they can improve and funders "make thoughtful funding decisions". The guide also explains NPC's own charity analysis framework which looks at effectiveness in six areas: activities, results, leadership, people and resources, finances and ambition.

Charity chief executives organisation ACEVO has launched a 'Capacity Manager' online tool, building on the experience of its Full Cost Recovery model. The object is to evaluate whether your internal support services are working effectively, going beyond a simple health check approach, exploring more crucial questions such as whether a policy is being followed, how effective it is, how regularly it is updated, and how widely it is understood and used. There is also benchmarking against other organisations.

Giving and public fundraising

Virgin Money launches charity credit card
Virgin Money has launched a new credit card that will give 1 per cent, with Gift Aid, of the money that customers spend to charity.

Each time the Virgin charity credit card is used, Virgin Money will make a ‘cashback' payment of 0.8 per cent of the value of the transaction and this will be given to a charity chosen by the customer.

If the customer claims Gift Aid on the donation, its value will increase to 1 per cent of the money spent.

A Virgin Money spokesman said: "This is an easy and convenient way to support good causes. Cardholders will be able to nominate their chosen charities, which they can change quickly and easily."

He said if a customer did not specify which charity the money should go to, it would be donated to a charity chosen by Virgin Money.

Government funding reporting demands are excessive, says New Philanthropy Capital
Half of charities that receive government grants or contracts believe the reporting requirements attached to the funding are out of proportion to the value of the funds, according to new research by think tank New Philanthropy Capital.

The survey, which was completed by 80 charities last year, showed half had never been offered funding or training to help them fulfil their reporting requirements. Two-thirds said the task of tailoring information on the results of their work for each local authority that funded them was taking up valuable time.

Y Loteri

Cronfa Loteri Fawr – Ymateb Pellach i'r Dirwasgiad
Mae'r Gronfa Loteri Fawr yng Nghymru wedi dyrannu arian ychwanegol i helpu cymunedau yn ystod y dirwasgiad fel rhan o becyn o fesurau a gyhoeddwyd yn ystod 2009. Mae £2 filiwn ychwanegol yn cael ei ddarparu fel cefnogaeth ychwanegol i gymunedau ar draws Cymru sy'n cael eu heffeithio gan y dirwasgiad.

Dyfarniadau Newydd. Caiff ail ffrwd trywydd cyflym rhaglen Pawb a'i Le y Gronfa Loteri Fawr yn benodol ar gyfer y dirwasgiad ei lansio, gan gynnig grantiau hyd at £50,000 dros ddwy flynedd i sefydliadau sy'n darparu gwasanaethau i gefnogi teuluoedd a phlant bregus sy'n byw mewn tlodi, gan gynnwys y canlynol (ond heb fod yn gyfyngedig iddynt):

  • Cefnogaeth i deuluoedd bregus, gan gynnwys y rhai sy'n profi argyfwng ac sydd mewn perygl o chwalu
  • Cefnogaeth i blant bregus, gan gynnwys y rhai sydd mewn perygl o droseddu neu sydd eisoes o fewn y system cyfiawnder troseddol
  • Cefnogaeth i deuluoedd a phlant sy'n byw mewn tlodi, gan gynnwys cydweithfeydd bwyd, cynlluniau ailgylchu dillad, cyngor maeth a deietegol
  • Cefnogaeth i ddioddefwyr trais yn y cartref
  • Cefnogaeth i ofalwyr ifanc
  • Cefnogaeth i'r rhai sy'n cael eu heffeithio gan gamddefnyddio sylweddau
  • Cefnogaeth i blant sydd â rhiant yn y ddalfa.

Rheoli Grantiau'n Hyblyg. Mae'r Gronfa Loteri Fawr hefyd yn parhau i fonitro deiliaid grantiau presennol am unrhyw arwyddion y gallai canlyniadau eu prosiectau fod mewn perygl oherwydd effaith y dirwasgiad. Er bod prosesau rheoli grantiau'r Gronfa Loteri Fawr eisoes yn hyblyg iawn, mae'r Gronfa'n estyn y cyfle i ddarparu dyfarniadau ategol i ddeiliaid grantiau presennol lle gellir dangos bod prosiectau mewn perygl o ganlyniad uniongyrchol i'r dirwasgiad. Byddwn yn ysgrifennu at ddeiliaid grantiau eto cyn bo hir gyda mwy o wybodaeth fanwl am sut mae hyn yn gweithio.

Blaenoriaeth i Brosiectau sy'n Lleddfu Effaith y Dirwasgiad. Elfen derfynol pecyn dirwasgiad y Gronfa Loteri Fawr oedd defnyddio hyblygrwydd rhaglen Pawb a'i Le bresennol y Gronfa Loteri Fawr sy'n ymateb i alw. Mae'r Pwyllgor gwneud dyfarniadau wedi cytuno i flaenoriaethu ceisiadau i brosiectau sy'n debygol o helpu cymunedau i leddfu effaith y dirwasgiad. Rhoddwyd hwn ar waith yn sgil cyfarfod y Pwyllgor ym mis Medi 2009, gan arwain at 5 gwobr hyd yn hyn gwerth cyfanswm o £1.13 miliwn ar gyfer prosiectau a fydd yn darparu cefnogaeth uniongyrchol i'r cymunedau yr effeithir arnynt fwyaf gan y dirwasgiad.

Rownd 2 - Rhaglen Trosglwyddo Asedau Cymunedol
Rhaglen flaengar a chyffrous yw Trosglwyddo Asedau Cymunedol (CAT), sy'n ymwneud â phartneriaeth rhwng Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru a'r Gronfa Loteri Fawr. Mae'r bartneriaeth, a weinyddir gan y Gronfa Loteri Fawr, yn buddsoddi hyd at £13 miliwn mewn trosglwyddo asedau o sefydliadau sector cyhoeddus i gymunedau ar draws Cymru.

Mae'r rhaglen yn cefnogi cymunedau i fod yn gryfach ac yn fwy cynaliadwy drwy eu helpu i ddod o hyd i asedau megis tir ac adeiladau, a'u datblygu. Mae ariannu cyfalaf, refeniw a datblygu ar gael o dan Rownd 2 er mwyn rhoi cefnogaeth i gymunedau mentrus ddefnyddio asedau i gynhyrchu ffrydiau incwm a darparu gwasanaethau ac amwynderau o safon.

Mae Rownd 2 y rhaglen yn agor ar 30 Mawrth 2010. Cyflwynir y rownd ariannu hon drwy broses dau gam.
Bydd angen i sefydliadau gwblhau cais cam un ond bydd gofyn iddynt ddatblygu a chyflwyno eu cais cam dau dim ond os ydynt yn llwyddiannus yng ngham un.

Mae nodiadau arweiniad, cwestiynau cyffredin a mwy o wybodaeth am y rhaglen ar gael ar ein gwefan

Ar ôl i chi ddarllen y nodiadau arweiniad, os credwch fod eich prosiect yn addas ar gyfer y rhaglen CAT, gofynnir i chi gofrestru eich manylion gyda ni i gael ffurflen ymgeisio. Gyrrwch e-bost sy'n cynnwys eich enw a'ch cyfeiriad at cat@cronfaloterifawr.org.uk

Cynllunnir digwyddiadau briffio ar y rhaglen ar gyfer mis Mai, a chaiff manylion pellach eu dosbarthu cyn hir.

Os oes angen unrhyw wybodaeth bellach arnoch, mae croeso i chi gysylltu â ni drwy ffonio 029 2067 8200 neu e-bostio cat@cronfaloterifawr.org.uk

Mae gallu cynnig cydnabyddiaeth GM i wirfoddolwyr ifanc yn cyflwyno nifer o fanteision ac mae’n cael ei gydnabod yn gynyddol fel rhywbeth sy’n fuddiol ar gyfer CV, ceisiadau UCAS a chyfweliadau swydd. Mae nifer o sefydliadau sy’n derbyn arian o ffynonellau eraill neu sydd â rhaglenni gwirfoddoli sefydledig eisoes yn datblygu’r defnydd o gydnabyddiaeth GM heb ddod yn ddeiliaid grantiau.

Gwahoddir ceisiadau gan bob grŵp (yn cynnwys awdurdodau statudol) sy’n cynnwys gwirfoddolwyr ifanc ac sy’n gallu cynnig 200 awr o brofiad ar eu cyfer. I gael manylion pellach, gwyliwch wefan WCVA a llwytho’r dogfennau i lawr ar ôl Mawrth 11eg. I gael gwybodaeth bellach am raglen GM neu i drafod cais posibl, cysylltwch â David Heald, Cydgysylltydd Gwirfoddolwyr y Mileniwm ar 029 2043 1728 neu yn dheald@wcva.org.uk.

Ail gyfle i geisio am gontractau Marchnad Lafur Drosiannol (MLD) yn Nwyrain Cymru
Mae cynllun Marchnad Lafur Drosiannol (MLD) WCVA wedi ail-agor ei drefnlen ar gyfer holiaduron cyn-gymhwyso (HCG)- gan roi ail gyfle i sefydliadau fod yn gymwys i dendro am gontractau yn ardaloedd Cystadleurwydd a Chyflogaeth Rhanbarthol Dwyrain Cymru.

Mae’r cynllun, a gefnogir gan gyfanswm o £18m o arian gan Ewrop a’r Cymulliad, yn buddsoddi mewn sefydliadau er mwyn darparu cefnogaeth a hyfforddiant yn y gwaith i bobl economaidd anweithgar drwy gyfrwng cyfnod o gyflogaeth â chymorth.

Er mwyn cael eu hystyried ar gyfer y rhestr o gyflenwyr cymeradwy, bydd angen i sefydliadau gwblhau a chyflwyno’r holiadur cyn-gymhwyso (HCG) erbyn ddydd Llun 10 Mai 2010.

I gael HCG neu bamffled gwybodaeth cyffredinol cysylltwch â Lein Gymorth WCVA ar 0800 2888 329 neu e-bostio help@wcva.org.uk. Mae’r HCG a’r ddogfen ganllaw hefyd ar gael i’w llwytho i lawr oddi ar wefan WCVA a www.gwerthwchigymru.co.uk.

Sut i dendro

  • 27 a 28 Ebrill 2010 – Cardiff *LLAWN*
  • 11 a 12 Mai 2010 – Y Rhyl

Ar adeg pan mae galw mawr ar y trydydd sector yng Nghymru i gyflwyno mwy o wasanaethau cyhoeddus, mae tendro'n dechrau disodli'r llwybr traddodiadol o arian grant. Mae’n hollbwysig fod y sector yn ymateb yn gyflym ac yn flaengar i'r newidiadau hyn drwy ddeall y cyfleoedd sydd ar gael a sut i fanteisio arnynt.

Bydd y cwrs 2-ddiwrnod yma yn:

  • Esbonio rôl caffael a thendro yn yr hinsawdd ariannu bresennol.
  • Helpu chi i asesu'ch potensial i dendro.
  • Eich tywys gam wrth gam drwy'r broses dendro.
  • Rhoi cyfle i chi ymarfer eich sgiliau ysgrifennu ceisiadau.
  • Esbonio'r hyn y mae prynwyr yn chwilio amdano.

Mae’r cwrs rhyngweithiol hwn yn darparu cymysgedd o gyflwyniadau, gwaith grŵp a thrafodaeth agored. Bydd yr holl gyfranogwyr yn cael pecyn cynhwysfawr o gyfryngau ac adnoddau i’w cynorthwyo gyda’u gwaith. Mae’r cwrs hwn ar gyfer staff a/neu ymddiriedolwyr yn y trydydd sector sy’n newydd i faes tendro a hefyd y rhai sydd eisiau cael mwy o wybodaeth am y prosesau cysylltiedig.

Gwerthuso gwasanaethau cymorth mewnol
Mae’r sefydliad ar gyfer prif weithredwyr elusennol, ACEVO, wedi lansio cyfrwng ar-lein 'Rheolwr Capasiti’, gan adeiladu ar brofiad ei fodel Adfer Costau’n Llwyr. Yr amcan yw gwerthuso a yw eich gwasanaethau cymorth mewnol yn gweithio’n effeithiol, yn mynd y tu hwnt i archwiliad syml o gyflwr, yn archwilio cwestiynau mwy hanfodol megis a yw polisi’n cael ei ddilyn, pa mor effeithiol yw, pa mor rheolaidd y caiff ei ddiweddaru, a pha mor eang y mae’n cael ei ddeall a’i ddefnyddio. Ceir hefyd feincnodi yn erbyn sefydliadau eraill.

Dadansoddiad yn arwain at benderfyniadau ariannu mwy ystyriol
Mae New Philanthropy Capital wedi cyhoeddi canllaw i werthuso, gan roi enghreifftiau o’r ffyrdd y mae elusennau a chyllidwyr wedi elwa ar ddadansoddiad – mae’n helpu elusennau i ddeall sut y gallant wella ac i gyllidwyr "wneud penderfyniadau ariannu ystyriol". Mae’r canllaw hefyd yn esbonio fframwaith dadansoddi elusennau’r NPC sy’n edrych ar effeithiolrwydd mewn chwe maes: gweithgareddau, canlyniadau, arweinyddiaeth, pobl ac adnoddau, cyllid ac uchelgais. Mae Prif Swyddog Gweithredol NPC, Martin Brookes, yn esbonio yn erthygl y Guardian "why Charities must find time for reflection on how they are performing", neu gallwch lwytho 'The little blue book: NPC's guide to analysing charities, for charities and funders' (pdf, 768KB, mae angen cofrestru).

Rhoi a chodi arian cyhoeddus

Virgin Money yn lansio cerdyn credyd elusen
Mae Virgin Money wedi lansio cerdyn credyd newydd a fydd yn rhoi 1 y cant, gyda Chymorth Rhodd, o’r arian y bydd cwsmeriaid yn ei wario i elusen.

Pob tro y defnyddir cerdyn credyd elusen Virgin, bydd Virgin Money yn gwneud taliad ‘arian yn ôl’ o 0.8 y cant o werth y gwerthiant a rhoddir hyn i elusen a ddewisir gan y cwsmer.

Os bydd y cwsmer yn hawlio Cymorth Rhodd ar y rhodd, bydd ei werth yn cynyddu i 1 y cant o’r arian sy’n cael ei wario.

Dywedodd llefarydd Virgin Money: "Mae hyn yn ffordd hawdd a chyfleus i gefnogi achosion da. Bydd deiliaid cardiau’n gallu enwebu eu helusennau, a gallant eu newid yn gyflym ac yn hawdd."

Dywedodd os na fyddai cwsmer yn dewis elusen benodol ar gyfer yr arian, byddai’r arian yn cael ei roi i elusen a ddewisir gan Virgin Money

Mae gofynion adrodd arian y Llywodraeth yn rhy eithafol, meddai New Philanthropy Capital
Mae hanner yr elusennau sy’n derbyn grantiau neu gontractau gyda’r llywodraeth yn credu bod y gofynion adrodd sy’n gysylltiedig â’r arian yn anghymesur â gwerth yr arian, yn ôl gwaith ymchwil newydd gan y felin drafod New Philanthropy Capital.

Roedd yr arolwg, a gwblhawyd gan 80 elusen y llynedd, yn dangos nad oedd eu hanner wedi cael cynnig arian neu hyfforddiant i’w helpu i gyflawni eu gofynion adrodd. Dywedodd dwy ran o dair ohonynt fod y dasg o deilwra gwybodaeth ar ganlyniadau eu gwaith ar gyfer pob awdurdod lleol a oedd yn eu hariannu’n cymryd llawer o amser gwerthfawr.
